Chapter 225 Zhou Ziyang's Family
Zhou Ziyang took the clothes and looked at Nan Ci strangely, "Where did the clothes come from?"
"I bought it! After selling those human-faced fish, I bought this dress. They said it's made of a special material. It's cool and sun-proof. It's like a second skin, and it doesn't feel restrictive at all."
After hearing Nan Ci's words, Zhou Ziyang instantly became interested, "There are such nice clothes? Then I must take a good look."
As Zhou Ziyang spoke, he carefully examined the clothes in his hand. Mu Qianqian was also very curious and moved over, leaning over to look with him.
However, like Nan Ci, Mu Qianqian didn't know much about fabrics. She looked at and touched them but couldn't figure out what they were and soon lost interest.
Nan Ci was not in a hurry to know the result. He just ate his meal seriously and quickly.
After being hungry for a whole night and a whole morning, Nan Ci felt like he could eat a whole cow.
The food Zhou Ziyang brought out was not a small amount, but it was not enough for Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest.
Nan Ci ate while observing his surroundings, and at the same time, he carefully and quickly took out the cooked food from the space and placed it on the table.
He kept eating like this for more than half an hour before Nan Ci felt full. He held a bowl of pumpkin millet porridge and drank it in small sips.
Zhou Ziyang was still studying the clothes, his eyes serious and expressive.
After knowing each other for such a long time, Nan Ci rarely saw such an expression on Zhou Ziyang's face.
Although he didn't know what happened exactly, Nan Ci subconsciously felt that something must have happened.
Although he thought so in his heart, Nan Ci did not say anything to disturb Zhou Ziyang, just waiting for him to speak.
After a few minutes, Zhou Ziyang raised his head and said, "This dress was made by my family."
"Um?"
Nan Ci was really surprised.
She guessed that something must have happened, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
Mu Qianqian was also shocked. She first looked at the clothes in Zhou Ziyang's hand, then looked at Zhou Ziyang in disbelief, "Ziyang, are you sure?"
Zhou Ziyang nodded, his voice firm and powerful, "Not only was this dress made by my family, but even the fabric was woven by my family.
My family has been weaving for generations, and in order to easily identify what we have made, we would leave our own unique marks when weaving, and the cloth I weave also has them on it.”
Mu Qianqian blinked several times and tried to recall it carefully, "Really? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Zhou Ziyang glanced at Mu Qianqian with amusement, "If anyone can see it, it won't be a unique mark anymore and can be easily imitated."
Mu Qianqian nodded in agreement after hearing this, "It seems like what you said is right. So what exactly is the mark? Let me see."
Not only Mu Qianqian felt curious, but Nan Ci was also curious. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were always fixed on Zhou Ziyang.
Zhou Ziyang turned the clothes in his hand over and pointed at the inside of the clothes where it connected to the hat. "Look here, is there a letter Z?"
Nan Ci was sitting a little far away from Zhou Ziyang. He leaned over to look, but didn't see the letter Zhou Ziyang mentioned, so he simply stood up.
Although the old Taoist priest didn't say anything, he was paying attention and stood up at the same time.
The two people came to Zhou Ziyang and looked down at the place Zhou Ziyang pointed at the same time, only then did they see that there was indeed a "Z" there.
It's just that this "Z" is woven with the same color thread, with just a slight adjustment in the weaving method to make the "Z" appear, but if you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.
Nan Ci was amazed, "Your technology is really amazing."
Mu Qianqian's focus was different from others. She tilted her head and looked at Zhou Ziyang, "Are all the clothes you make marked here? What about the pants?"
Zhou Ziyang glanced at Mu Qianqian with amusement, "Of course not, every piece is here.
If every piece of clothing is marked in the same position, it will be easily discovered by someone with a keen eye.
To avoid detection, the markings are placed differently on each piece of clothing.
Anyone who is familiar with this mark will be able to find it by carefully searching the clothes.
To you, this Z is probably just an ordinary Z, nothing special. But to me, the writing method is different, and the number of stitches in each line is also different. Even if someone wants to forge it, it is impossible to make it exactly the same. "
Zhou Ziyang's words amazed Nan Ci and the other two.
"It's just clothes and fabrics, is it necessary to make them so elaborate?" Mu Qianqian still didn't quite understand.
"It is necessary." Zhou Ziyang explained carefully, "I have said before that our family has been doing this for generations. We do not produce in large quantities, but only do some handmade customization.
You all know that people who can make custom clothes by hand are either rich or noble.
If something goes wrong after the clothes are taken away, it is easy to lose track of who is responsible.
We put a mark unique to our family on each piece of clothing. If there is any problem with the clothes, we can confirm as quickly as possible whether the clothes are ours and who made them.
Because of this mark, our family has avoided many troubles in the past.”
Mu Qianqian listened with great interest and continued to ask, "So...is this...a business war?"
"If I must say, then yes."
Seeing that the two were straying further and further away from the main topic, Nan Ci could only helplessly bring the subject back.
"Because of the mark you mentioned, are you sure that this dress was made by your family?"
Zhou Ziyang nodded seriously, "Yes, my mother did it."
"Isn't that great?" Mu Qianqian tilted her head. "Since the clothes were made by your mother, it proves that your mother is still fine. As long as we ask around, we will definitely be able to find your mother."
From this perspective, it is indeed a good thing.
But Zhou Ziyang's expression did not ease much.
“My family members have always done what they want to do, and their personalities are relatively quiet, even a little withdrawn.
Nan Ci just said that these clothes were sold by the base. I don’t quite understand why my family would cooperate with the base. "
Hearing this, Mu Qianqian laughed, "Sure enough, you can't see clearly when you are in it.
Zi Yang, it’s the end of the world now, and things are different from before.
No matter how lonely the family members are, they know that living is not easy.
In the face of life and death, character can change.
Besides, they have no news about you and no way to find you, so cooperating with the base is a good way.
Put out the specially marked clothes, and you can find them by following the clues. "
